In April 2015, an Iranian team led by Mahmoud Ghavidel made the First Ascent of a new route in Tioman. “The name of God” is a 485m 5.13 / 5.10 – A2 (???) climb and a new addition on the South Pillar of the Dragon’s Horn

Damai Sentosa was was established in April 2013 by Stephanie Bodet, Yong Liu, Arnaud Petit, David Kashlikowski and Tam Khairudin Haja. We were back on the beautiful island of Tioman and repeated the route on the 13th of July 2014

Waking dream on Bukit Nenek Semekut, Pulau Tioman, has at least four generations of bolts. One of our expedition aims was to make the route safe not only for ourselves, but also of future ascentionists.

Waking Dream has been a long journey and it was a worth reward to top out on Malaysia Day. We climbed the route spread over 3 weekends with the objective to re-bolt the line, re-stating it as good as possible to the condition it was after the first ascent.

Waking Dream is the first historical route on the Dragon’s horns. Scotty Nelson and Nick Tomlin opted for the most obvious and pure line on the face. Since then, the Horns have seen international climbers opened more adventure routes.

There is not a lot of places in South East Asia where you jump on a big wall. Tioman is a unique destination for adventure climbing. Find here the basic information on how to access Tioman, get aournd the island and look for accommodation / food.
